Imelda's Daycare

My Name is Imelda. I have two beautiful daughters; 13 & 8 years old.
I have 8 years of working in a Daycare setting. I decided to obtain my DCFS license to open a home daycare to provide the highest quality childcare, through a combination of education, experience, a positive attitude and most importantly the love for children.

I offer English and Spanish Language and we believe in respecting any family culture and beliefs, giving them the opportunity to feel free to share or give any comments or ideas.

My home daycare is a safe and happy place where parents can trust and children can learn and grow physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially at their own pace with the positive guidance of adults.

I believe that each child is an individual with his own special interests and abilities, and children learn by doing what comes naturally through play!

My Program Mission: is to assist and support working parents and their families. Specializing in the education of 6 weeks-12 years old by providing an environment that is welcoming, secure, nurturing, educational and fun for their children
